**Description**  
I’m trying to update profile settings. The token has scope user:write which should be sufficient, since the user is attempting to update their own settings. Why do I need those additional scopes?

**Error**  
{“code”:4700,“message”:“Invalid access token, does not contain scopes: [user:write:admin, zms:user:write]”}

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
OAuth

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
PATCH users/\_jneLUhhQTmF09bdksDaiQ/settings

Hey @jimig,

Can you try passing in the word `me` instead of the userID? That will fix the issue.

`PATCH users/me/settings`

Thanks,  
Tommy

Thanks - this works as expected. Probably worth fixing the bug or updating the docs to reflect this?

Hey @jimig,

We will update our docs to mention to use `me` for user level apps.
